Their commission was suspicious.

Perhaps there will be something useful in it.

Chapter 1198 Miss Skadi's Human "Cub" Raising Plan

[Strange knowledge +1]

[Strange knowledge +1]

[Strange knowledge +1]

As Chen Luo stretched and walked downstairs, he saw the little bubbles constantly rising above Catherine's head.

"Hmm? What strange knowledge?"

Chen Luo tilted his head and stopped thinking about it.

Catherine can do whatever she wants. I'm not Catherine's mother, so I don't need to worry about what Catherine is doing all the time.

Möbius? Möbius left directly from the 3rd floor.

Whether it's the first, second, or third floor, there are bar doors leading to the outside world, which Chen Luo can open whenever he wants.

When Mebius left, he was quite decisive, showing absolutely no intention of staying with Chen Luo any longer.

Just when the researchers who understood the laws of nature were finally getting busy, Möbius, concerned with the experimental results, ran back to the laboratory.

"Is it already this late?" Chen Luo, who was sitting quietly on the first floor of the bar, looked at the passing time and couldn't help but sigh that happy times really do fly by.

Although time is a quantifiable concept, subjective feelings about it can vary.

The senses are different when you are happy and when you are upset.

It's like Genshin Impact searching for the Aura.

The former is about exploring new areas, while the latter is about finding missed Ange's Eyes according to a guide...

"Hey, what are you spacing out for?" Xiao Jiu, who had somehow appeared in the bar, patted Chen Luo's thigh.

"..." Chen Luo glanced down at Xiao Jiu, took out a lollipop, stuffed it into Xiao Jiu's hand, and waved his hand impatiently.

[Go away, little one, don't disturb the adults' contemplation!]

Xiao Jiu was furious at Chen Luo's mature demeanor!

Who are you trying to fool? You're fooling the Heavenly Emperor!

One lollipop is enough; you don't even bother to enhance it over time. That's too much!

As Xiao Jiu stuffed the lollipop into her mouth, she angrily rebuked Chen Luo for his disrespect and lack of consideration.

"So what are you doing here again? You're the one who comes to the bar the most often, at least for the past few days."

"Seeking refuge, otherwise what else would I be here for? And who said I've been in the bar the longest? Isn't she the one who's been there the longest?" Xiao Jiu pointed directly at You, who was eating an orange next to her.

"That's true." Chen Luo nodded.

Who can spend more time in a bar than Yu, who practically lives in one?

After the two mentioned him, Youcai realized that Chen Luo had already used up the 3rd floor, but after thinking about it, he didn't run up to the 3rd floor directly.

You temporarily stayed in Chen Luo's third-floor attic, but Chen Luo's third-floor attic was quite large, and the space could be expanded by spending raw stones.

However, Chen Luo didn't want to expand the room, so he went to the room next to You Zheng's.

Because expanding the dormitory is really expensive, 10 raw stones per square meter, why don't you just rob someone?

陈洛的3楼阁楼还是蛮大的，因此被陈洛一分为二，陈洛住的有独立卫浴、厨房的小家只占了3楼阁楼的1/4甚至只有1/5，绝大多数的空间被陈洛用来当做实验室了或者说人偶工坊。

Chen Luo wasn't some kind of master puppeteer; he sometimes needed assistance when making puppets.

Besides that, the doll workshop also had all sorts of test tubes and medicines... both Eastern and Western.

Chen Luo originally planned to go inside the room with Möbius, both wrapped in their hibernation suits, but Möbius said she preferred Chen Luo's doll workshop.

He truly is a research fanatic; he even likes to sleep in the lab!

terrible!

"Speaking of which, where are Xiaoshi and Abi?" Xiao Jiu looked around and showed a hint of disappointment when she didn't see her friends.

Children always like to play with other children. Although Xiao Jiu isn't a child in the true sense, Abi and the others are quite mature.

You speak of the law of knowledge?

Well, in Xiao Jiu's opinion, both the Herrscher of Knowledge and Abigail are within her circle of friends in her childhood form, so there's not much difference.

Abi is alright, Abi's range of activities is quite wide, and since Abi can't hide directly in Chen Luo's sea of ​​consciousness like the Herrscher of Knowledge, she often goes to all sorts of strange places to play, such as bars, Gensokyo, etc.

The Herald of Knowledge is different. Apart from the bar's opening hours, Xiao Jiu rarely sees the Herald of Knowledge leaving Chen Luo alone.

"Abby? She's playing video games with Jeanne d'Arc in Dimensional City. Honestly, school's about to start, and she's wasting her time playing games. I should probably give her more homework later," Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

Chen Luo didn't really understand how to educate ordinary children. After all, Abi wasn't as unruly as those bratty kids online, which left Chen Luo feeling confused. In his confusion, he could only make up for the lack of education in Abi by having him do homework.

Although Abby didn't seem to like the homework very much, Chen Luo gave her a lot of good stuff, so Abby could accept it.

"As for Xiao Shi, he's busy with a mission right now," Chen Luo said.

"A mission? What mission?"

"Oh, an adventurers' guild has just been established in the Abyss Passage, where you can take on quests. To let the Herrscher of Knowledge and the others experience just how hard I work normally, and how tempting my desires are, I've set them a new goal."

"All the gold coins they earn today through commissions will be marked as special gold coins, which they can use to exchange for items or wishes with me," Chen Luo said.

"Tch, I thought it was something big, is that all? Xiao Shi abandoned you over such a small thing?" Xiao Jiu laughed gleefully.

"The items and wishes I'm referring to can be any item, or even any wish," Chen Luo said calmly.

Is there any difference?

"You can even use special gold coins to exchange for a day's use of the Friendship Revolver. As long as I don't use it, it's yours during my free time."

"Such high purchasing power?!" Xiao Jiu exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Jiu had seen the Friendship Revolver before, but he never expected that Chen Luo would be willing to rent out something like this.

For a moment, Xiao Jiu felt a little regretful that she couldn't participate in this event, otherwise she would have cleared out the entire Abyss Passage!

"Now it seems that they, who are never on the ground, can probably understand how hard I usually work," Chen Luo said.

"Do you usually work very hard? I don't sense that you're working hard at all."

Xiao Jiu always felt that Chen Luo spent most of his time wandering around different worlds, and since he could earn money by staying in bars at night, he shouldn't be too tired, right?

"What do you know? Do you think I'm really as relaxed as I usually appear? Are I really as happy as I usually seem?" Chen Luo looked like he was in great pain when Xiao Jiu brought this up.

"Uh, I didn't expect that beneath your usual optimistic demeanor lies such deep sorrow..." Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Luo, who had suddenly become sorrowful, and was somewhat at a loss.

"No, you can't even imagine my happiness! I can make money just by sitting in the bar every day. If I really wanted to slack off, I could earn some income by only operating for 4 hours a day. Even if I did nothing, I could get a guaranteed S-level talent after three months." Chen Luo's tone changed.

"Damn European dogs! They actually lured Africans in to kill them!" Xiao Jiu's fist hardened.

"Haha, just kidding, don't take it to heart. Actually, running a shop is quite tiring."

But I'm not the one who's tired.

"But aren't Xiaoshi and the others a little too engrossed in the quest? It's been a whole day, and they haven't even come into the bar for a drink of water. It's already past 5 pm..."

Chen Luo wasn't too worried about the safety of the Heralds of Knowledge. He had asked the Book of Akasha to check their daily crisis fortune chart, and he was certain there wouldn't be any problems. Chen Luo was just a little worried that they might overwork themselves.

Chen Luo used to be like that too, rushing forward impatiently whenever he saw a commission.

Although the situation remains the same, Chen Luo can at least remain a little calmer until the other party gives him a commission, and try to give himself more time to rest.

There's no end to the things that can be commissioned.

Of course, Chen Luo understood their thoughts.

Just like the first and only event Chen Luo encountered in Changkong City.

Five Primogems for one assassin. At the time, I thought this mission was pretty ordinary, but now it seems I would be willing to do it even for just one Primogem for Chen Luo.

Not to brag, but Chen Luo can now make Changkong City disappear from the map of the earth in two seconds.

Five raw stones and one assassin—even if he knew that work-life balance was important, Chen Luo wouldn't care!

Chen Luo wished he could sleep in Changkong City all the time!

Chen Luo's main concern for the Lawgivers was that he was thinking about when the little fox would return.

Little fox, little fox, come back quickly! Your Thunder General has been waiting for you with slippers for ages!

Chen Luo gently opened his right hand, and a flash of lightning appeared. The Little Thunder General appeared in Chen Luo's palm, quietly staring into Chen Luo's eyes.

Although Little Thunder General can't speak yet, he's really well-behaved.

As a reward, Chen Luo plans to temporarily let the little fox serve as General Thunder's mount.

Chen Luo had always been curious about how the Thunder General, as a member of the Thunder General's retinue, usually controlled the little fox.

The little fox is so small, if Lei Ying sat directly on her, wouldn't she be flattened?

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

Skadi pushed open the door from outside the bar and entered.

After placing Little Thunder General on his shoulder, Chen Luo looked at Skadi.

The armed dolls are a bit larger, so Chen Luo usually carries them in his arms.

Mercury Lamp is smaller and can be adjusted in size, so it likes to sit on Chen Luo's right shoulder. Now, Little Thunder General occupies Chen Luo's left shoulder.

[A little orca that knows nothing; it doesn't even know you're the escaped doctor from Rhodes Island.]

Upon seeing these words, Chen Luo remembered something.

While the entire Rhodes Island was mobilized to search for Chen Luo, Skadi was in a bar and therefore did not hear the broadcast at all.

When Chen Luo returned to the bar, Skadi was still there. After Chen Luo clearly stated that he had fled, Kal'tsit broadcast the news of the failed search operation.

By the time Skadi returned to Rhodes Island, the matter was completely resolved. But why hadn't Skadi heard a single word of it during her entire day on Rhodes Island…?

Why? You ask why? Because she has no friends. Her only acquaintance, Specter Shark, is still tied to a restraint table in her dorm room.

Isamara is not Skadi, and Skadi is not Isamara, but they have one thing in common—they both have nothing.

"..."

Hit the nail on the head.

It's unlikely that anyone would specifically seek out Skadi to discuss what happened last night, so while it's strange that Skadi doesn't know, it's also perfectly reasonable.

It's so reasonable it's heartbreaking.

"Oh, poor little orca, would you like something to eat?" Chen Luo asked.

"Hmm, isn't it dinnertime now? Isn't the bar open yet?"

"Bars usually open at 8 pm, but as long as you come and I'm still here, you can choose whatever you want to eat," Chen Luo said.

“…” Looking at Chen Luoskati, who seemed quite concerned about her, she tilted her head.

A psychologist once said that there is no love or hate without a reason in the world.

If a guy suddenly shows you kindness, it's either because he wants to date you, or he wants to date you. No? Then never mind.

Skadi didn't quite understand what "bubble" meant, but she didn't reject this kindness from outside the world.

On the contrary, Skadi dared not accept the goodwill from around the world, fearing it would bring her trouble.

Skadi hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Chen Luo, who was sitting in a chair, and then... tentatively patted Chen Luo's head.

"Ok?"

What are you standing there for? You got patted on the head! Pat it back!

Suddenly, Chen Luo stood up and looked at the door that Skadi had left open when she came in.

"What's wrong?" Skadi asked.

"It's okay, keep touching it." Chen Luo waved his hand.

Skadi tilted her head and then continued to pat Chen Luo's head.

It feels quite comfortable. Is this what it feels like to touch a human?

Chen Luo remained unmoved, instead focusing intently on the door.
